I have to admit after becoming a dad to five children, reading a book was something that I could never find time to do. Thankfully three of my children have grown up so I now have a bit more time to do a few things for myself and that includes reading a book. So when I was sent a copy of Jo Middleton’s debut novel, Playgroups & Prosecco, to read and review I thought it would be the perfect way to reignite my love for books. Playgroups & Prosecco is the story of a single mum called Frankie. Frankie has… [Read More]

I was recently sent a perfect Christmas gift for my four year old twin girls. A stunningly, beautifully illustrated book called, ‘The Incredible Intergalactic Journey Home’.

With these books they can start their fabulous journey through space! Along the way on their journey home they get to meet a variety of characters including gwolls, flares and zingos to name a few. They also get to fly in the spaceship and see… [Read More]

This box is suitable for children aged three… [Read More]

The story is brought to life with the brilliant illustrations which are also by the author Jennie Poh. The girls and I loved the little nervous hedgehog who summons all his courage up to go on his… [Read More]

A few weeks ago I saw a post on Facebook asking for dads to give advice to new dads that was going to be published in a new book called The New Dad’s Handbook. To be honest I really forgot all about it and then just a few days ago I was tagged in a post on Facebook that they had chosen my advice as one of 11 tips to new dads. I was very honoured and incredibly flattered that they considered my advice worthy of being included. Since starting blogging about a year ago I have been staggered by the… [Read More]
